You want to always remember PEMDAS
Let's start by solving the parenthesis first.
Within the parenthesis we follow the order of operations and find the exponent of 6^8 so solve that first

-4(1679617)/(7)

anonymous · Answer

Good :) Okay,you would want to leave it as -4(1679617)/1+6 because we haven't gotten to the addition part of PEMDAS yet
